Domestic Transfomer Apartment by Gary Chang.
“The house transforms… and I don’t move. The house moves for me.”
This video just blew my mind. Hong Kong Architect Gary Chang took his 330 square foot apartment and made it transformable into 24 rooms, using a super sleek and futuristic sliding wall system. The results are green, clean and practical for someone in Chang’s case, living in a 7 million populated region where extreme tenement living is the norm.
Chang fittingly calls his home the “Domestic Transfomer.” My favourite of his transformations is the screening room, which features dramatic floor to ceiling visuals and a hammock hanging in the middle of the space. Of course, the micro-kitchen might be a challenge for many, but having lived in tiny shoebox Manhattan apartments before, I know it can be done. Now we just need to add a little robot dog and a screening of Blade Runner and the future-is-now scene is complete.
